[Game On] Dawn of Holy Crap They Actually Patched
Posts
Co-Op campaign is two players only.
No, you believe things that are wrong.
Ya. Each player controls 2 squads.
And yes, the combo is powerful, but that doesn't mean people understood how to use it in the current state of balance. What with the wargear and all.. I just hoped to clarify things for fellow SM.
Also, did you guys know that the amazing brightlance, with it's .03 chance to hit not-buildings or tanks, targets commanders over razorbacks? Way to go, Relic.
Pfft I was doing ASM-Apoth in BETA.
It's too bad you never get to see it because the unit sucks without giving her the Executioner.
And by that I mean
FUUUUCK TARGET PRIORITY.
Dawn of War 2: The only game where Generators are the scariest fuckin' thing on the planet and need to die NOW NOW NOW OH GOD IGNORE THE ENEMY JUST KILL THE DAMN GENERATORS.
:^::^::^::^:
It's kind of implied they're all male, especially in 3rd edition, but never really stated explicitly like with Banshees being only female.
I thought eldar could like, you know, change their gender at their own behest really.
[Insert witty comment about women and gay men here]
[lol Eldar]

I might be missing a joke here but I've never heard this from any official source.
Someone posted something in one of the previous threads about how Eldar changed gender roles on a whim and often lived as either gender depending on what they felt like doing at the time, but it's not official as far as I know. It was probably one of those "fanfluff" things people post on the internet sometimes, like that huge female space marine write up I found once.
Hmmmm, possibly. I played the tabletop for years but never really got into too much Eldar fluff so I just took it as canon when someone told me that.
Yeah but those guys are girly even by Eldar standards.
There's nothing concrete that says they can't be female. There's nothing concrete that says any gender can't belong to any Aspect and just because there aren't any female Striking Scorpion minis doesn't mean female Scorpion Exarchs can't exist and make out with Banshee Exarchs.
There are female guardsmen too, but you don't see any standard female guardsman minis.
That depends on your hero...Warboss is a counter all on his own. Kommando can probably instagib a couple of them...
Mekboy has a really hard time but you could always do what I do when I face an apoth: kill him, they go down pretty easy really.
Chances are if you see an apoth you can bet your orkish ass there are a few million spess mehreens you CANT see.
I never asked for this!
Christ I hope that was non cannon. That little post has been bothering me for quite a while.
Well, I've never found anything like that in official sources and I have looked. Neither has Akira and he's a tabletop Eldar person.
It's either someone's bad fan addition to the fluff or an old Rogue Trader thing that's been phased out.

I don't know if I've ever seen a guardian unit with no helmet, I always assumed that especially guardians were a mix of men and women.
I've read the second edition stuff, and eldar codex probably 1,000 times and have never seen anything about eldar changing sexes. My vote on that one leans towards bad fanfluff.
By the end of it, he had 9 Dreads, all doing nothing. (There are 2 more you can see on the radar)
It wouldn't have lost us the game if he actually marched them out of our base!
Technically, neither are extremely tight pants and fishnet shirts.
But men don't exactly wear those, and it's considered odd when they do.
